Happy New Year 2020

Blog by-Dr Jaya Kumar.

As the first rays of the Sun fall on the Earth in the new year, it brings in a new hope.
The rays of hope teach us to be more compassionate and generous in the coming year.
A new day gives us an opportunity to start afresh with the things which could not be done in the previous year.
A new year fills us with a positivity to have better future for humanity.
New year is like a new day of our lives.
A new day which is full of opportunities. We have to be passionate to use the opportunities which shall come our way.
A new year is the beginning of a new journey of life.

In this new journey we have to be headstrong to face the hurdles and challenges which too shall be coming our way.
In this new journey we will explore ourselves more deeply.
As the clock ticks, we too grow every second of our lives.
So this new journey is a constant growing journey which has to be well planned beforehand.
This new journey has to start with full energy and enthusiasm. An honest approach, a dedicated attitude, a disciplined behaviour and a correct focus shall definitely make this new year a memorable year for us.
So, with a positive note, let us welcome this new year.
Let us wish that this new year be more productive and progressive for everyone.
Therefore, on this new day let us pray to The Almighty for bestowing His blessings on the whole humanity.

Blog by Dr.Jaya kumar.

The world is celebrating Guru Nanak Dev's 550th birth anniversary. It is the ignition of light by the Guru as 'Prakash Utsav'.

 The light to show us the path for self- enlightenment. The aura of Guru Nanak Devji is par description. His teachings are a guide-line for leading a happy life. 

The humane feeling and the purpose of life is beautifully described in his teachings. The guidance of Guru is not restricted to one religion or community but is for the whole society to establish a concept of brotherhood and oneness amongst each other.

 The power of love, care and affection by spreading of joy, righteousness and goodness everywhere.

 So, let us on this day promise ourselves to follow the truth and the teachings of the Guru and make the world an incredibly magical and beautiful place to live in.

Happy Navratri - A Beginning of New Hope

Blog by-Dr Jaya Kumar.

NAVRATRI..The auspicious festival is celebrated to worship the nine powerful forms of Goddess Durga.

The nine avatars of Durga are:

1. SHAILPUTRI- The embodiment of the collective power of Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh. This collective power can really conquer the world.

2. BRAHMCHARINI- She is filled with bliss and happiness. Let us be happy from our inner soul to achieve a blissful life.

3. CHANDRAGHANTA- She represents beauty and grace. She is also regarded as an apostle of bravery and possesses great strength.

Like wise, we too have to be physically and mentally strong to face the challenges of this world with our head held high.

4. KUSHMUNDA- She is considered to be the creator of the universe.

Mother is the creator of the  future generation. Let us fullfil our responsibilities with dedication and true commitment.

5. SKAND MATA- She can turn into a storm-cloud when the need arises to protect her child.

Parents are protectors of their children. It is our duty as parents to make our children well aware of the hurdles of life.

6. KATYAYANI- She exhibits immense courage.

Be courageous to fight the battle with the demon inside us.

7. KALRATRI- She has three eyes that shine bright.

As human beings we have only two eyes.Try to open our 'third' eye of awakening which can see the world from a different perspective.

8. MAHAGAURI- She is intelligent, peaceful and calm.

Only a peaceful mind can be a productive mind.

9. SIDDHIDATRI- She possesses supernatural healing powers.

Everyone has hidden supernatural powers, so let us explore ourselves.

Looking at its deeper meaning, we realize that there is another aspect to Navratri.

The meaning of NAV-RATRI can also be understood as NEW-NIGHT.

A new night which fills us with new energy. Just like all the forms of the Goddess who are worshipped and who killed the evil forces to protect the good, we too should pledge to adopt and inculcate good values and ethos in ourselves. Values to stand against the evil and also kill our inner evil forces.

If there is something we could not do in the past, let us try to do it now in the present.

Let us take a vow to change our lethargic lifestyles and shift to a healthy systems of living.

Let us burry our bad habits and start following the good principles in life.

Change should be a part of life. Following the new directions and dictums should be a promise we should surely and unhesitatingly make to ourselves.


LET US RESOLVE TO ASSURE THAT, THIS NAVRATRI OUR LIVES SHALL ALSO TAKE A TURN TO NEW AND BETTER WAYS OF LIVING..

CARE FOR BIRDS

A Loving and a Touching letter from a bird to her dear Interact Club friends.

Dear Friends of the Interact Club,
Thank you for showing your love, care and affection for us. You know, I was listening to your conversation with your teacher regarding the 'Care for Birds' Project. I was sitting on your building's window and enjoying your conversation. I could see the passion in your eyes for me and all my fellow birds.
I could feel your love and care which you were ready to bestow on me.
You know that, with this level of high humidity in the atmosphere, I was really feeling very thirsty. Many a times, I could not find even a single drop of water anywhere. Now that my dear friends, as you are thinking of and wanting to provide us with drinking water, I feel so relaxed.
I am also very happy that you all are very enthusiastic to provide us with millets too. I surely require good nutrition for my better survival ahead. My existence is critically important for a balanced environment.
Many Thanks to you all and do take good care of yourselves. We all birds also wish that you all too spread your wings and fly high in the sky.
We shall be waiting for you.

Your Loving Friends,
Birds of the open, vast and beautiful sky.

Deepalaya- An ignite of light is a Vardan for life at older age.

 'Sharing is always caring'. We must cherish this beautiful feeling for life. In this regard, a few members of our Interact Club, visited and shared their knowledge with the students for whom education really matters. Imparting good knowledge and igniting a sense of understanding to the children younger to you is such a beautiful initiative.

An initiative which can shape into a relationship of trust and progressive thoughts. On the other hand, a visit to an old-age home is an initiative to spend time with the people who are at the verge of a critical age where life seems to be stagnant and slow.

Two separate worlds brought together and joined with the help of our members of the Interact Club. Our new generation is not confined only to the 'bookish' world. They are ready to explore the world in their own ways. Even sky is not a limit for them.

Their thoughts are progressive and they want to see the realities of life. On one hand, the reality of the struggle of a younger generation who is not getting the best of facilities whereas on the other hand the truth of life of those broken hearts and souls who are waiting for their loved ones with tears in their eyes.

One part of our world has a spark to grow and the other is waiting to go. The members of our Interact Club are on the way to becoming this link for the two worlds.

Mission Buniyad- Each One Teach One.

Things are changing and change comes from the younger generation. The generation who is sensitive and sensible to understand the importance of good learning and understanding. 

  If you develop a good bond of understanding with each other, it shall bring efficiency in your whole project. The same happened with project Buniyad. A project which turned into a mission. A mission to teach one by each one. 

 Seniors helping their juniors to understand the topic even better. Members of the Interact Club helping their juniors to learn more and even better. Giving a personalized care to them as their own siblings.

 It gave me a sense of satisfaction seeing this lovely session showing that our country is in safe hands. Our students have a potential to be good educators in future.
 My conclusion through this experience was that our younger generation is ready to take the responsibility in their hands.

 They know their responsibilities very well and are eager to give a shape to their dreams. Dream of having 'Service Before Self'.The session was done very well and in the end it ended with thankful smiles.

Kargil Vijay Diwas - 20 years of journey.

Kargil Vijay Diwas - 20 years of journey.

 As a civilian I bow my head as a mark of respect for our Indian armed forces. We feel a sense of security and protection because we know that our armed forces are for us. Day and night standing tall and strong as a mountain.
On this historic day my heart feels the pain for the families who lost their loved ones in the Kargil war. Our brave martyrs who gave their precious lives to save the honour and dignity of their motherland INDIA.
 As Indians we always witness a sense of pride and honour to be born on this land whose sons and daughters love their motherland from heart and soul. Our country belongs to the brave hearts. India, the land of values and culture.
India, where our unity is diversified which in turn leads to the strengthening of the nation even more. We have to work as a single unit in direction of building and developing a strong nation. The real tribute to the Kargil heroes who fought and won for the nation shall be when as an individual we recognize our inner strength. We ignite a sense of self-consciousness within ourselves and perform our duties most sincerely and responsibly.
India need bravehearts in every field with a new positive and productive perspective and approach. So, let us today make a promise to ourselves in contributing our share of responsibility and duties with the purest of nationalistic values and beliefs. As civilians our true tribute and salute to our Armed Forces. Jai Hind..Jai Bharat..
